Aielyn said: You guys have missed the biggest giveaway that this is fake. Nintendo's event lineup wouldn't be printed out on any random old piece of paper, and certainly wouldn't include release date information just because it could. If it was intended for some sort of communication, it would be on their internal stationery with a proper letterhead (and thus the Nintendo logo would be at the top), and would contain only the information that was necessary for the communication - in this case, it might include the game title and the speaker, but not the console or the release date, both of which would have been decided well in advance and does not need to be known in conjunction with the speaker. But even then, there's no reason why a list such as that would exist anyway - such arrangements would have been made in person, and distributed only to people who had to know. So even if everything on the list were completely believable, without mistakes or inconsistencies, I'd have still called it a fake list. |
nope, many people have already pointed these things out

I see only two people addressing anything resembling what I said - one pointed out that it wouldn't be on shoddy paper printed by a shoddy printer (which is a weak point) and that it wouldn't have been printed at all in reality. The other just says it looks like some 14 year old made it in word. Beyond that, the only comments even close are basically "hey, why is the logo red?"
Printers can need cartridge replacement, and a plausible explanation for that would be that this was a bad printing, and thus was to be recycled and a new copy printed after cartridge replacement... should have been shredded, but wasn't. It being printed can be explained in theory. So can the fact that it looks like it was made in word, and the fact that the logo is red. But the set of information provided have no business being together on a document. THAT was the primary problem. And the secondary problem is that the paper used to print it would have had the official letterhead on it.
